![Page 12: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step 1: Generate Ideas
Workers often get together for brainstorming.
People from a company’s development department, the marketing research staff, and even outside market researchers may be involved.
Collaboration is key in this step.
![Page 13: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step 2: Screen Ideas
After a list of ideas for a new product is completed, the team must evaluate each idea.
How do these ideas fit the company’s mission and strategy?
Does the new product compete with one of the company’s existing products?
If the product’s concept seems risky, should the company ask consumers about the creative concept?
![Page 14: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step 3: Develop a Business Plan
The business plan provides a look at the market, including estimated sales, costs, profit potential, market trends, and competing products.
![Page 15: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Step 4: Develop the Product
If an company decides to pursue a product, a prototype (model of the actual product) is made.
It is used to see what the new product will look like. It tests how it can be made.
Delays are possible in finalizing the product due to testing and changes.
![Page 16: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step 5: Test-Market the Product
Marketers need to test-market a product after the product is fully developed.
The goal of test-marketing is to collect customers’ responses to see if the product is likely to be a success.
test-marketoffering a product in a limited market for a limited time
![Page 17: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step 5: Test-Market the Product
The testing process may give a competitor time to produce a similar product.
Both products can enter the marketplace at the same time.
Firm can lose its competitive advantage.
![Page 18: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step 6: Introduce the Product
A publicity campaign introduces the product.
The costs of launching a new product are often high.
The company has a short time in the market before competitors start developing similar products.
![Page 19: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step 7: Evaluate Customer Acceptance
Once the product is introduced, marketers track customers and their responses to it.
If customers like it, the company will continue to produce it.
If not enough customers like it, it may not be on the market long.
![Page 20: Chapter 13 Marketing in Today’s World Section 13.2 Market Research and Product Development.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102412/5697c02d1a28abf838cd95c7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Step 7: Evaluating Customer Acceptance
Answers to customer feedback can be used in future research and development for the company.
Who are our best customers?
What new products are they buying?
How often do customers buy the new product?

Product Failures
Not all products that are test-marketed succeed. After Ford® introduced the Edsel in 1958, the car failed to meet sales expectations. Marketing experts say Ford did not understand U.S. consumers.
